Back on the Early Shift

It took me by surprise when I spotted Henry on the monitor about 10.15 last night. It is quite a few days since the hogs were on the early shift here. As I watched and captured a few snippets of video I thought that Henry was by himself. It was a while later that I made out Honey was there in the background.

I scatter a mixture of dried mealworms, crushed unsalted peanuts and sunflower hearts all over the paved area under the bird feeders. That way they can both eat in peace without invading each others space.

At the beginning of this clip Honey is in the background and just looks like a reflection of Henry as he snuffles his way througn his supper. Honey didn't come close to the camera until well after Henry had moved on and I had already switched off the computer.

  2. Good to see Henry and Honey back on early shift ~ thanks to your comments, I spotted Honey in the background. I forgot to mention your last post where I enjoyed seeing your magpies with the beautiful blue plumage...especially the hopping one, which I found quite amusing ;)
